When I come home, baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee
And she say
"Daddy
What's wrong?"
She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
She says
"Daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"
Daddy, you're a fool
You know, I got a woman
Daddy, you're a fool
And she lives in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She says, "Tell me all your troubles"
You know what she says? She says
"Daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Oh, I love you so much, baby
Daddy, you're a fool to cry
Daddy, you're a fool to cry
Yeah
She says
"Ooh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"
She says
"Uh-uh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
Uh-uh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
Uh-uh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
Uh-uh, daddy, you're a fool to cry
Even my friends say to me sometimes
And make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say?
They say
"Daddy, you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"
Why
I'm a fool, baby
I'm a fool, baby
I'm a certified fool, now, yeah
I want to tell you
Gotta tell you, baby
I'm a fool, baby
I'm a fool, baby
Certified fool for you, mama
Come on
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
